Skip Hop Crib Mobiles
The notice says to stop using it — see below for what to do.
What’s wrong
The strap attaching the product to the crib rail can break, posing an injury hazard if the product falls on the infant in the crib.
The Recall Registry rates this worth checking — we found nothing in the notice describing a specific injury. A recall covers only the versions, UPCs or date codes it names, so check those against yours.
What it looks like
Photos help. Identifiers decide. Appearance can vary by color, finish or packaging. Confirm the model number, date code or other identifier in the official notice.
